Chapter 787 Chapter 787- Rank up- [B] Tier Intermediate Ranking Dungeon
"Who is this girl? She actually cured those hideous injuries"…
"Could it be she is a Holy mage? Since when did our tower town had a person like her?"
"Who cares? The fact is that she just cured one of her heroes, means that she is a good person"
The people of the town and the adventurers who didn't know about Maybell, gossiped among themselves. The technique or skill that she just displayed was no less than a miracle of a holy mage.
With one of their heroes no longer near his deathbed, the town's people returned to a festive mood. The next couple of days were filled with festivity and banquets. Adventurers, merchants, slaves and town's people celebrated their liberation and freedom from the tyranny of the criminal organisation.
People ran over the streets of town, celebrating the defeat of the six legged catastrophe and their reunion with the dear ones.
Amidst the celebration and merriment, Blake and his team who were the heroes of the town, received the generous hospitality and the treatment that they deserved.
Gathered inside the Serene Palace Merchant Guild building, in one of the rooms bathing in ample sunlight from the open window sills, were Cynthia and the others.
In one corner of the room, adjacent to the window was a bed with clean white sheets and bedding. Lying on the bed, sleeping with a peaceful look on his face was Blake. Next to him, sitting on a chair was Frida.
There were other people in the room too, including Cynthia's retainers and Wyot.
"It has been three days since then, he is yet to wake up" Frida muttered in worry.
"Don't worry, he is not amongst the people to die so easily. Before long, you'll see him getting up from the bed, bored of sleeping too much"
Wyot tried to lift her spirits. It was not like the man was in any danger, if anything he was totally out of it. All the light mages in the town had said that Blake's vitality and body had returned to its normal condition and he should soon wake up.
However it has been three days since then and every day, the mages would say the same thing. Since there was no injuries or damage on the person to heal, they could only wait for him to wake up on his own from his comatose state.
"By the way, I just came back from strolling around the town. Man, they are totally putting all the achievements on us. It is still a mystery as to how the top executives of the criminal organisation disappeared like smoke without leaving any trace"
"Although we were able to investigate a fierce struggle from the aftermath that was left behind, all the clues ended there. We don't even know if they are alive or not or if that catastrophe killed them. In any case, the people of the town are glorifying and publishing everything as our achievement. It makes me a little uncomfortable hogging rewards and praises for something I haven't done" Wyot hugged his shoulders and shuddered.
"Haha, you are right. Wherever we go, we get surrounded by the people of the town who keep on singing praises for us. It's like we have completely become the heroes of the town"
The others agreed. Things have blown out of control and the facts have been exaggerated by the people to the point where it hardly sounded like what originally happened.
It couldn't be helped after all the town had people from all walks of life. What they witnessed and understood was naturally different from other people. And since even the people who were at the scene were not completely in the know of what had actually transpired, there was no way of stopping this chain of exaggeration that spiralled out of control.
"Your Highness, the other day I saw the adventurer association branch rebuilding itself. However, I don't think after what happened, people are going to follow them blindly again. In fact, the people of town have the same consensus when it comes to this matter. Have you thought about the proposal they sent Princess? If you accept it, it would be a great help to the merchant guild and the royal family can once again reestablish…"
Blameco the butler spoke, shedding some light on the activities and agendas that was happening around the town. However, before he could continue further with his sentence, he was stopped by his liege Cynthia.
"I told you before Blamenco, I will not make a decision right now, I need time to think about it"
Just the other day, the association and the people of the town, put forward a proposal that requested Her Highness Cynthia to become the governor of the town.
The Tower Town was taken over by the criminal organisation and became what it was, due to the lack of a governing body. Just like every city or village needed a mayor or elder, the tower town also needed its own ruling body so that an incident like this could be avoided in the future.
And who better to assume this position than Cynthia?
If there was any one person in the entire town that the people respected with their whole heart, it would be her. Not only she commanded a high level of influence over the adventurers, merchants, slaves and other various people from different walks of life, but her presence in their hearts became unshakable after the incident.
Then there was also the group of high level people that followed her which included her subordinates, Blake and his teammates and Annette's group. With so many strong people behind her, her position was almost unshakeable in the town.
And then adding to the fact that she was also a royalty from the now ruined kingdom of Ellesmere, all the people wanted her to become the governor of the new tower town.
The proposal came in from the Adventurers Association branch. Everybody inside the room understood what it meant for her to assume that position, which is why nobody said a word. After all, it was up to Cynthia herself to decide what she wanted to do.
"By the way, I don't see the unusual group of demi humans around Your Highness. Did they go somewhere?" Wyot changed the topic to clear the atmosphere.
Cynthia turned to look at Annette who stepped forward to answer.
"I have sent them for some task somewhere, they will be returning soon"…
"So that was the case"
Wyot nodded his head and did not pry more. He understood that everybody had their own secrets and things that they needed to do, there was no point in prying. Besides, he felt like the demi humans were cold and distant to him, no not only him but to all the humans of the town except for Cynthia and her group and the slaves.
With the tyranny of the Criminal organisations over, all the slaves that were brought from the foreign countries and mainland, was released. Their slave collars removed and they no longer needed to follow the command of their masters.
They were now free to stay in this town or go wherever they wanted.
Thinking about it, most of the slaves that were brought in the tower town were demi humans, just like that unusual group. Were those people once slaves too? If they were, it would explain their hatred towards him and the other humans.
"It is not good to make noise in the room where a patient is recovering, let us go to a different room".
Leaving the couple by the bed alone, the rest exited the room. Outside in the hallway, Cynthia opened her mouth to ask—
"Miss Annette… do you not need to go where Theodore and Mayebll went?".
Annette glanced at Cynthia and smiled "Just Annette is fine Your Highness and no, I don't need to go there. My priority is your safety as such just sending them there should be enough"…
"I see"…
People like Wyot and others from Blake's team would wonder what they were talking about. However, those in the know like Alvara and the others understood what the topic was all about.
However, they were not in the liberty to divulge any information, after all, it related to Her Highness and that person.

Main Floor of the Dungeon Laplace, inside White Palace.
At this moment, almost all subordinates present inside the dungeon, assembled in the Main Hall. Whether it be the Bloodthorn Demonic Warhorse, Berigard, Colues, the other forest spring spirits, Wisp, Prime, all were present.
Seated on the head seat was Simon looking at them as they kneeled in front of him.
"Everyone, raise your heads. Today I gathered you for no other reason but to tell you all that the scourge plaguing the tower town, is now gone. Thanks to the efforts of Annette, Theodore, Maybell and the others, we won't have to worry about our dungeon going into decline again"
"Our actions would soon bring over waves of adventurers flooding inside the dungeon. I want everyone to continue putting in the efforts you have been for the dungeon"
Simon first complimented his subordinates for a job well done before moving on to the important topic.
"Most of you might not know but our actions were very important for the development of the dungeon. The tower town is not only the source of income for the dungeon, but it is a place that is associated with the life and death of our dungeon. As such, we cannot leave it to its state"
